It's a sad day in Oakland, California, as well as for Law Enforcement nationwide. 4 of our brothers were shot down and killed.
Personally it has hit me hard. I was born in Oakland and worked in law enforcement for 15 years in the Bay Area. I have had the privilege of working next to some of Oakland's finest. While I didn't know these officers personally, it is still especially hard and I take it personal.
I have put together a brief video tribute to our fallen brothers. Please take a moment to view it, pass it on and share it. Also, take a moment out of your day to say "thank you" to a Police Officer.

SOMEBODY KILLED A POLICEMAN TODAY.
Author: Unknown
Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side.
The beat that he walked was a battle field too,
just as if he'd gone off to war.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all,
and a part of America died.
Say "thank you" to a cop today!
